DIY Wooden Farmhouse Tray

This $3 DIY farmhouse tray turned out so good! It’s going to look great hanging on the wall (like a sign) when not in use! I’ve used this little DIY farmhouse tray in so many different ways… it really is very versatile!

Funny story, my hubby came home and saw this farmhouse tray in our kitchen and seriously thought I bought it. I told him I made it and cut the wood myself… and he was shocked! He bought me a hand saw for Christmas bc I usually ask him to cut everything for me with his electric saw (I’m not 100% confident using his machines solo…yet) and this was my first time using the hand saw.

This DIY Farmhouse Tray was only $3 and 1 hour to make (including dry time) if you use a hand saw as I did.

I post lots of “tasty” style videos on my Instagram account… just because it’s easier to share in real-time.

So if you want to be the first to know about my latest and greatest DIY’s and more, I highly encourage you to follow me on Instagram. If you don’t have an Instagram account, it’s really easy to set one up and in my opinion, it’s easier to use than Facebook ????

Supplies:

• Large (5 gallons) paint sticks (I used 9 total sticks)
• Rope from
• Briar smoke wood stain
• Aleene’s tacky glue
• I recommend a staple gun too????

Instructions:

1. Arrange 7 sticks in a row with the numbers facing upward.
2. Use the 2 remaining sticks to glue the 7 sticks together.
3. Let the glue dry.
4. Use a hand saw or table saw to cut the curved edge off the side and trim the 2 supporting paint sticks.
5. Use your desired color paint or wood stain on the tray and let dry.
6. Use the rope to create handles for the sides of the tray.
7. Glue the rope to the bottom of the tray (optional: a staple in place with a staple gun to secure).
8. Add a decal if you desire and enjoy!

I used my Cricut machine to add a decal to the bottom of my first tray.

I also made a double-sided tray that is white on one side and stained on the other. I added decals to this double-sided tray.

I used the same double-sided tray for these Cookies for Santa Trays!
